"Will any extra guards be placed over
them?"
"Yes, sir, as 1 said the time has come
to take every possible precaution. They
man will watch each of the prisoners from
this time forward"
The sheriff walked into the ISL yard
and there met Captain Schaek who en-
tered through the criminal court building.

HAD LONG TALK.
What was the topic of the interview
could not be learned, but soon after the
police on gusrd on the upper floor were
called and given q long talk before they
were drilled. Outside of the great SEN
sstion OF the day things were quiet around
the jail. There was an air of mystery
all morning which was not explained
until 2 O'Clock. Admittance was denied
TO every one, even to reporters. Mrs.
Schwab and Mrs. Engel brought over
baskets of victuals for the loved prisoners
and left them at the door. Lipgg's girl,
pretty Ida Mueller came over with bas-
ket for Lingg, and it too was left at the
door. About this time Sheriff Mason
accompanied bY Chief Deputy Gleason
left the Jail yard by the small gate, and
were closely pursued by small
ARMY OF REPORTERS,
but they disappeared as mysteriously as
they had entered, and were not fOuno
until half an hour later, wheL they said
that there was nothing of consequence
except general cleaning up OF the jail;
but the air of mystery which perVaded
everything, and the Sneriffs denisls were
not very reassuring. A reporter caught
4 deputy who let drop an inadVert-
ent remark. 1t was nothing
of importance, bit the idea gained
credence that Parsons and LiDgg had cor
cealed some poison in their cells and it
had been discovered. This the Sheriff
subsequently denied. and tor q long time
stuck to the story that nothing was
wrong. At 2 o. N. the reporters were
admitted to the jail and found the same
cir Of mystery. None Of the deputies
knew anything, but
THEY WERE OMNIPRESENT.
Fully dozen were inside the grating il
the cell rooms and half dozen paced
restlessly Ground the office. The baskets
brought by the friends OF the prisoners
we're not taken into the Jail, and one
brought by Miss Van Z2ndt IN person for
August Spies met with similar fate. A
| COY brought dispatch for Spies which
| the Sheriff opened and read, and then
sent to the prisoner. He would not say
what the dispatch contained or where it
vas from, but said it contained nothing
Of Importance. Engel was sick all night
| and unable to partake of anything but
coffee to-day. The others were in good
| health, however, and not receiving any
dinner until 2 O'Clock asked eagerly for
their dinner and showed good appetites
when it came.
The prisoners took the change of quar-
tiers quite as matter of course, and read,
wrote and smoked as though nothing un.
usual was going on. The news Of the
finding of the bombs
| SPREAD LIKE wILDFIRE.
A universal reaction OF the amnesty
sentiment was at once apparent. Hun
dreds Of people who had signed the pc
tition for clemency regretted the act, and
wished they had never appended theil
names to the paper. Twenty OF the Of
fcers OF the Central detail were in the
squad room when reporter entered AM
told them the news. Instantly there
was storm of indignation. TIL:
bombs recalled to them th'
scenes of the Haymarket, and Their,
was but one comment On the subject
One lieutenant re remarked, sarcsstically
swell, they ought to pardon Liagg.
The general opinion around the police
station was that whatever might be the
fate of the others Lingg's doom was sealet
snd he would have to 60 to the galloWs
1t is doubtful If the condemned men vii
longer be allowed TO enjoy the privileg
Of reading the daily papers. It was sug
gested to the sheriff that the advertising
columns might easily be utilized as
means of communication IN CIPHER be
tween them and outsiders, and in o.
: probability they will be deprived Of thei
principal pleasure.
